This application lets you show RSS feeds on your Facebook business page.  You can display your business’s main websites feed.  Simply RSS can accept various encodings, including UTF-8.

Twitter APP , this can be located at http://apps.facebook.com/twitter

If you do not have a twitter account then you should think about getting one as this is another powerful way to promote your business.  This particular Twitter application will automatically take your “Tweets” and apply them as your Facebook status.  The application will apply a Twitter style icon next to your status to inform your friends and fans that you are a member of Twitter, therefore attracting more followers.  This application helps to ensure that your profile remains updated and interesting to the people who are following your business.  It will also save you time as you will only have to update one networking site.

Make sure that you’re using popular keywords, words that people are actually searching for.  The more people and profile pages that you have linked to your business or even your personal page then the more it will get crawled; this will essentially lead to a higher ranking page.
