How we serve a region
One base, no pretend offices.
Setanta serves North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia and Alabama. The firm is based in Wilmington, NC. It does not have an office, address or staff in the other cities on this page, and it does not imply it does. Work is delivered remotely and on site, mostly in your own accounts, with our founder doing it.
We wrote these pages because a firm in Memphis and a firm in Charleston do not have the same economy, the same rivals or the same first problem. Wilmington is the only page with a client behind it, THG Insurance, and the other eleven say they rely on regional proof.
Questions
Asked before every first call.
Where does Setanta work?
Across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia and Alabama, remotely and on site. The firm is based in Wilmington, NC and has no other office. This page lists the twelve metros written up so far. Firms elsewhere in the region are welcome, and firms outside it can ask.
Does Setanta have offices in these cities?
No. Setanta is based in Wilmington, NC. It has no office, address or staff in the other metros. Our founder works with clients across the US Southeast remotely and on site, and most of the work is built in the client's own accounts.
Why are the city pages different from each other?
Each metro has its own economy, its own state data and its own first problem, so each page is written for it. We would rather publish twelve useful pages than sixty with the city name swapped. The state numbers come from the State of AI by State report.
Is my city missing?
Possibly. Tell us where you are. The service area is the seven US Southeast states, and the metros here are the first set written up. Whether a page exists does not change whether we can work with you.
What is the free Operating Diagnostic?
A free call (book a time) that looks at how your team works today. It finds where Claude would move your numbers first and the process worth fixing first, and says which package fits. If it is not the right time, we say so.
Not near a listed metro? Book a call anyway.
We will say how we would work with you, or honestly, that it is not time yet.
