From free to invisible?

So I started Yelp Biz on the 11th. The same day. My partner, a woman gets a call from Yelp. Starts off okay but only for the first 15 seconds. The man from Yelp begins talking over her and saying stuff like
“Oh, you don’t make the decisions! Then I don’t need to talk to you.” “Who really makes the decisions over there? It’s not you!”
Amazing sales tactics by the way. Disrespecting my partner wasn’t really necessary, was it?
I finally answered the phone when Mr Overbearing called back and explained that we needed nothing from such a disrespectful person.
Now I started on the 11th. Yesterday was day 14.
On days 12 and 13 my phone was almost blowing up and then day 14 dead silence.
Real cute Yelp. Guess the rumors are true and you either pay or you get booted to the bottom or invisible.
But if you just started, Yelp will steadily throw you leads (real or fake is still being debated) and increase the number of leads to almost make it look organic. If you haven’t subscribed to their services by the end of the first two weeks they hide your page and cut you from searches.
