I think you are confused about what Google is doing, which by the way IS illegal.
If you type in "geico insurance" in the search bar, what happens (but due to the lawsuit it might not work anymore) is that on the right hand side, where the ads are, will have links to OTHER insurance companies that can offer you a quote for insurance. in the link it says "geico insurance" but when you click on it, it goes to a completely different site to offer you insurance.
It's like you having a business (like in the previous post) and a 2nd business is stealing your business because they put your business name in their website so when people search for your business it goes to them instead. I'm sure you would lay down and let that happen if it were you.
