There is a difference in concepts: Like and Seo.
Like - is for people you will receive some links. If you like them you enter.
Seo - is for search engines where people search for specifics!
Likes is ... look at this - doesn't mean you want / know about it.

Facebook is also a great way of social networking to share your story among with your friends

The only suggestion. IF you created a facebook fan page for your business, Use the application called FBML. Make sure you create a custom landing page for your page. Usually linking to your wall is a horrible Idea. We found that out after spending good money with Facebook.

Just thought that may help you out.

FYI, Facebook Markup Language (FBML) is being deprecated.
