Meet Sonja

aka Sonja The Search Queen

Sonja Pototzki-Raymond MSc, also known as Sonja the Search Queen, is a CEO, Google Search Expert, Keynote Speaker, and Fertility Advocate. 

A force to be reckoned with, in 2018, Sonja founded The Search Republic and, within 5 years, has generated over $700 million in sales for her clients. With a global footprint and an active client waitlist, The Search Republic is now one of Australia’s most in-demand Google-accredited digital agencies.

In 2018, Sonja embarked on her 4 year journey to bring her first born baby girl into the world through the challenging process of extended conception, turning her pain into becoming an IVF warrior and advocate. The birth of her firstborn daughter also sparked her first book, The Search For Resilience, the go-to guidebook to stand strong and awaken the warrior to fight life’s toughest battles.

Educated with an honours degree and master’s in marketing, Sonja combines her Google Search smarts with her big heart, and passion about making a difference to her client’s bottom line, female empowerment, and the business community.

With 20 years of global marketing and advertising experience, including working for many high-profile international brands – Guinness, Jameson, Nestle, L’Oreal, Special K, and Benefit Cosmetics, to name a few, Sonja is renowned for accelerating growth and transforming businesses using ethical, effective, and sustainable Google Search strategies.

One of the biggest reasons a harmful pattern continues is because you failed to learn the lesson.

Loved the Podcast? You'll Love the Book

The Search for Resilience by Sonja Pototzki-Raymond

If Diary of the Search Queen speaks to your soul, then you’ll love my book, The Search for Resilience.

This isn’t just another business book. It’s the story of my life behind the brand. The breakdowns, the breakthroughs, and the rebirths that shaped the woman, the mother, and the leader I am today.

In these pages, I pull back the curtain on the truth I used to hide:
The burnout. The grief. The moments I lost myself chasing success that didn’t feel like mine.
And most importantly, how I found the courage to rebuild; with purpose, with power, and with my own damn permission.

This book is my heart on paper and my blueprint for becoming unshakable.

If you’re in the messy middle… if you’re craving truth, strength, and strategy… if you’re ready to build something unshakable from the inside out—The Search for Resilience was written for you.
