You might want to add a "landing page" to your fan page. Facebook eliminated the FBML option a couple of months ago, leaving us currently with I-frame options. A little more difficult, in my mind, to work with, but there are a number of free templates that you can find to easily create a welcome message for your fan page. Here's just one example: www.pagemodo.com/product.html Or, try www.wix.com. For most of us, the most difficult part here is creating the graphic image! (Hey, there's also a template for real estate agent landing pages for $39 at www.facebookcustombusinesspages.com!)
But there is so much more that needs to be done besides a landing page. Here's a great video showing you how you can add SEARCH HOMES options on your sidebar (the video also speaks of a welcome page and YouTube Videos): http://youtu.be/X9Zk1O-WzDo
And the most important step in finishing the task of how to drive business from Facebook Fan Pages is 3) TEACH IT! Share what you have learned in creating your own fan page with other businesses! Here's even a YouTube video that will give you ideas on helping you work with restaurants: http://youtu.be/BlRx7W-7f6w
