Lets consider the example scenario:
domain.com occupies 9 characters in the search engine URL data
www.domain.com occupies 12 characters in the search engine URL data (extra 3 characters)
if you are very much serious about SEO and wanted to rank and optimize your site for search engine traffic better to remove WWW in the website URL
Points to remember: 1. Inform google webmaster tools about your website (either www or non-www)
2. use .htaccess from www to non-www redirection
3. Use Wordpress Redirection plugin initially for monitoring what urls are being redirected and how
If you aware of Canonical URL concept, please go ahead and use properly
www.example.com
example.com/
www.example.com/index.html
example.com/index.php
Note: As you might be using Wordpress, using SEO Plugin will help you in applying a Canonial URL

6. the company special focus for the local/geo location if any
7. country specific domain (if not restricted)
8. Meta Tag on the page for the country code and language
9. if possible hosting the site in the local hosting provider (if possible)
10. Ofcourse content should be unique but need not have loads and lots of content.
