TheDailyHourglass builds AI-powered Facebook & Instagram ads for local businesses, and texts every new lead in under 60 seconds so they don't go cold.
We started with the trades that live and die by phone calls and booked estimates — and we work with other local businesses that need the same thing: real leads, followed up fast.
Free audit. We review your website, reviews, and current ads.
We build your ads. AI-assisted creative, written from your real customers' words, tested the way Meta's system rewards.
Every lead gets a text in 60 seconds. Missed calls get an instant text-back too.
Weekly proof. Spend, leads, booked estimates, and cost per booked estimate. You own your ad account.
Responding within an hour makes a business roughly 7× more likely to qualify a lead (Harvard Business Review, 2011) — that's why step 3 is built in, not an upsell.
Speed-to-lead follow-up built in — every lead and missed call gets an instant text
You own your ad account and pay Meta directly — no lock-in, no black box
Month-to-month after a 30-day pilot — no long-term contract required
We report in booked jobs and cost per booked estimate, not likes or impressions
No. We size the pilot to your market and trade — the goal is booked estimates from day one, not a big spend commitment.
You do. The Meta ad account is yours, you pay Meta directly for ad spend, and you keep it if we ever part ways.
Once ads are live, leads typically start coming in within days — and every one gets a text response in under 60 seconds.
We review lead quality with you weekly and adjust targeting, creative, and audiences — the report tracks booked estimates, not just raw lead count.
Yes — we're based in Philadelphia, PA, but we work with local businesses in other markets too.
Free. It's a 15-minute review of your website, reviews, and current ads — no obligation.
TheDailyHourglass also builds AI automation & agent systems, websites, and grant writing/consulting for organizations — plus Second Chance AI, our workforce program, and AURUM, our trading intelligence product.
