- What's the story behind Parham Shariat's AI search research?
- Parham's wife is an attorney. A potential client told her that ChatGPT had recommended her practice out of thousands of lawyers in the area. That moment launched an 11-month research initiative analyzing 50+ businesses to identify the exact signals that trigger AI citations — research that became The Complete Guide to Dominating AI Search, the third book in a series built on two decades of strategy work.
- How do the books in The Business Strategy Series work together?
- They follow a journey: The Business Strategy Plan lays the strategic foundation, Digital Real Estate identifies the shift toward owning your digital footprint as AI reshaped discovery, and The Complete Guide to Dominating AI Search supplies the execution playbook for getting cited by AI. Six Ways to Make a Seven is written separately for a younger entrepreneurial audience, and The 38 Letters of Rockefeller to His Son is a companion volume on leadership and judgment.
- What do these books ask readers to do differently?
- Stop building reactively, stop assuming what worked five years ago still works, and stop skipping strategy to jump straight into tactics. Clarity of strategy — applied consistently as the landscape changes — is the pattern Parham Shariat has observed across two decades and every successful business he has worked with.
- How does Parham Shariat's 20-year business background shape this series?
- Parham has spent over twenty years building and advising companies across three continents, including large corporations and startups. That experience is what led him to identify strategy and execution as the pattern separating success from failure — the premise of The Business Strategy Plan — and later to apply that same strategic lens to how businesses get found online.
