You need to sign up to Google Webmaster tools and add your domain...

http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

Once you've done that then you can set the geotarget for your website to the UK and after a little while Google will recrawl your site and give it greater weight in the UK index.

Just to explain why you need to do the above.

Google will assume your website is US based if it is registered in the US and therefore give it greater weight in the US index. Your whois information shows an Arizona address (Domains By Proxy) and therefore the assumption is that you are a US entity.

If you are aiming at a UK market then you actually need to tell Google and your rankings will change soon enough. I do this all the time as I'm UK based but have websites that target either market.

This is basically the best method, also getting more links from UK web sites seems to help rank locally faster.

Yes, I'd agree with that. Try to get your links from UK specific sites.

If you want to target both then your best bet is to leave things as they and get a lot more backlinks from UK websites to rise in the UK index.

When it comes to SEO there's nothing different with these search engines but the algorithm that they use in indexing.

You can do two works to rank your website higher in Google UK :
1) Targeting your website's country to UK in Google webmaster tools.
2) Making backlinks from UK websites for your domain. Its very useful for ranking high in UK.
