Depending on what action you want your fans to take, you can choose to have a button appear on your page that when clicked, keeps a user inside of Facebook.

Alternatively, you can also send users off of Facebook to your website or anywhere you like.

You can even use the new Facebook Page call to action buttons with a landing page for a more complete solution.

According to Facebook:

Page admins can select from a group of call-to-action buttons — like Shop Now or Sign Up — to add to the top of their Page.
