It's similar to the way you get top rank on Google. Bing's local search algorithm seems to work on the same principles, however, the balance between the many factors is most probably different. Here are a few things to keep in mind when trying to rank well on Bing for local searches:

- optimize your website's title tags - this seems to be a very important factor with Bing; much more important than with Google;

- local search is for local businesses, so having a real physical address and a local phone number for the area which you are targeting would be an added value; having these on your website and marking them up with schema.org should help a lot;

- get links from relevant niche and local websites - unfortunately, Bing seems to still put high value on anchor text, which I hope will change in the near future;

- get listed on Bing Business Portal - this is Bing's equivalent of Google Places, although in my opinion it is much better;

- get listed on business directories and internet Yellow Pages - these are used as sources of information for how much trust could be put on a particular business (prominence factor);

- use a Facebook Page for the business - Bing uses Facebook and the things around it (likes, check-ins, activity on a page, etc) as ranking factors; similar to the way Google uses Google+;

- get reviews on some third-party websites that Bing uses as review providers - the most important ones are Citysearch and Judy's Book
