Helping business owners in their search for more clients, more impact, and more resilience.
Google Search & SEO Expert
As CEO of The Search Republic and with a career spanning 20 years across global markets and iconic brands, I’ve elevated the agency to Google-accreditation and achieved over $700 million in sales for my clients across Australia and New Zealand within five years.
Keynote Speaker & Podcast Host
Whether I’m on stage or behind the mic, I bring energy, experience, and stories that stick in your mind. From delivering high-impact keynotes to hosting real, unfiltered conversations on Diary of The Search Queen, I create moments that move people and get them thinking, feeling, and taking action.
Amazon Best-Selling Author & Fertility and Resilience Advocate
My book The Search for Resilience became a #1 Amazon bestseller, but it started with my own story of navigating fertility, business, and everything in between. Now, I use that experience to spark bigger conversations around what it really takes to lead, grow, and keep going when life throws the hard stuff.
As featured in…
I help business owners get found on Google, get booked by dream clients, and stop wondering where the next sale is coming from.
Hi, I’m Sonja!
The Search Queen and Google-obsessed strategist, speaker, podcaster, and business owner who believes resilience is just as important as ranking on page one.
I’ve spent the last two decades helping purpose-driven brands grow using smart, sustainable Google strategies, and as CEO of The Search Republic, I’ve helped generate over $700 million in client sales.
But I’m not just about rankings and revenue.
I’m also the author of The Search for Resilience (a #1 Amazon bestseller), host of Diary of The Search Queen, and a speaker who isn’t afraid to go there sharing what it really takes to build something meaningful in business and life.
Whether I’m mapping Google Search strategy, unpacking real-life resilience on the podcast, or speaking on stages across the country, I’m here to help you grow your business, stand out online, and build the kind of strength that lasts.
Because visibility and strategy matters as does the story behind it all.
