Google is one of the most popular companies on the internet with products from multiple categories that are also available in several languages. As you may know, Google provides services for many countries but the company is continuously expanding by creating new products and opening new offices. Some time ago, many internet publications reported that Google is more popular than Yahoo, having more offices and specific country domains than the giant portal. Also, the company tries to expand Google News, making it available in multiple languages as
Google announced recently that new offices were opened in Norway and Sweden.

Today, Google said that a new company branch will be opened soon in Finland, an office that is meant to increase the AdSense and AdWords popularity.

"US internet services group Google said in a news conference in Helsinki on Wednesday that it would open an office in the Finnish capital. Petri Kokko, the head of Google Finland, said small Finnish companies could advertise their products globally through the internet whereas only Nokia had been able to reach the same coverage using traditional advertising," NewsRoom Finland reported.

It seems that the search giant wants a new challenge for the company because they also announced that Jonathan Gillespie, former head of radio at Omnicom's pooled buying unit Opera, will join Google soon. Jonathan will be a Google leader for agency relationships in UK, but it looks like the employee was also interviewed for a role at Channel 4 Radio as BrandRepublic reported.

"Mark Howe, managing director for sales at Google UK, said: "Jonathan is one of a series of senior hirings we are due to make over the following few months. We are actively looking to build our relationships with the agency community, something we have not had the opportunity to focus on recently, but is certainly one of our main priorities now," according to the same source.

Have you paid for some service in Google? There are certain companies taking care of Google advertisements in Finland and they do have phone numbers.
Google is a private company providing public service for people. It's up to them and their rules if and when you site appears. You seem to be currently very well indexed with your site neuhaus.fi but seems also that you have changed for some reason the content totally and that affects on your trustability in web. If you are a private person you better take some professional who can optimize your site to be content-wise good for Google. The previous catalog or looks like a chocolate web shop you have had seemed to have been built with the focus on giving honest content for Google. You just take the best part of that one to your new site if you still have the original code saved.
I think your position has been earlier very good and Google has loved you. So all for that has been fine. :) Of course now you seem to have some issues there.
