“I could not bear to watch small businesses struggle with how to grow their businesses in the most efficient way possible”
Sonia Mitchell, founder of Internet Health Support, has over 20 years of accounting and marketing expertise and is dedicated to assisting small to medium-sized businesses. Her mission is clear: to support these businesses’ survival and grow through practical, results-oriented approaches.
Sonia Mitchell holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chaplaincy from the Australian College of Ministry, along with a Diploma in Accounting from Chisholm Institute. She has undergone extensive training and workshops in marketing and business development.
Sonia helps small to medium-sized businesses leverage and maximise search results for their name and the services or products they sell with a month-to-month program that helps her clients focus on what they love – their business.
Sonia started her business because she couldn’t stand seeing small businesses struggle to grow efficiently. With her experience, she recognised the need to adapt to changing trends, particularly the current emphasis on organic search results. This fusion of passion and expertise led to the creation of Internet Health Support, a journey that began in the early 2000s and continues to evolve today.
Sonia provides comprehensive services for business growth, starting with a free consultation to pinpoint areas for improvement. This includes website optimisation and strategies for top Google rankings. Her “Done for You” services offer full assistance, from research to content creation. She also offers membership options catering to different budgets with training, support sessions, and strategic planning. Sonia specialises in Google Business Profile, website income generation, and marketing strategies.
Sonai says being a member of the HerBusiness Network allows her to access timely and relevant learning, stay updated on the latest business trends, receive valuable support, make meaningful connections, and maintain accountability through her Growth groups.
