Your Facebook page is for quick and frequent interactions while your Website serves as a hub for maybe less frequent, but longer, deeper and more informative interactions with your customers, current or potential.

There are other reasons why Facebook can never replace a Website, a few of these being that you don’t have ownership or control over the platform, you can’t control the user experience, there are limited design options and branding alternatives, and not to be ignored, the fact that not having your own url can negatively impact trust in your brand and may hurt sales
