        One thing you can do is install Google Webmaster Tools on your site, log in and go to Site configuration > Settings, and set your Geographic target to the United States.

        For Bing and other search engines, you can set the content-language in a meta tag or in your HTTP headers (see here).

          Well two things you can do is:

          1. Make the domain in google webmaster tools US based.

          2. Buy a .com domain and target it in the US market.

          Overall it is not easy to target GEO specific domains to other areas I see it with .com.au domains they work great in AU yet ranking them in India is hard.

          so in the end it may be worth buying a .com and making a micro site and then drive traffic back to the .co.in 😉
