there are a number of ways you can geo-target your website to a local country:
- domain - TLDs often indicate where a site is located and will often rank higher in their corresponding local SE's
- IP addresses - often a cause of contention, but google themselves have started that in the absesnce of a TLD they do look at IP addresses
- google webmaster tools - new tools allow you to target a certain country or globally. this obviously only works for google
- semantic code - yes really this does help with goe-targeting, using <address> helps SE's find you in local search's
- local keywords - a must if targeting a local area or country
