Time. You'll have to wait for Google to see your site.

I usually just find putting a link to any new site in the footer of my others (have about 3/4) gets it into Google in about 2 weeks usually.

it takes time, download a free app called webseo, its fairly complicated for a free app but it might give you ideas about meta tags, keyword weights etc. I listed a new website of mine (checks OCUK products....looks ok) http://www.bigbrother-cctv.co.uk about 1 to 1/2 weeks ago and its already been picked up by google by using the google.co.uk/addurl , yahoo etc. I also search for competition sites and see if they appear on any free advertising sites that you can sign up to as well. (I think some SEO's will hate me giving this info out), SEO's charge hundreds to do this kind of work...

http://www.google.com/webmasters/ sign up for tools, add the meta tag to your site. Should get you in the index and gives good future feedback on your site within Google.
