There is value for a user visiting your social profiles just as much as your website. When on your social site they are learning more about your company and are actively looking for more information on a platform they may prefer more than your website. I would much rather have someone be on my Facebook page and still be able to chat to their friends than spend less time on my website.

If you are talking in terms of conversions, yes there is more value for the user to be on your website. You can still get conversions through social media, place an exclusive offer or another call to action that requires a single click to convert. Your website and social profiles are quickly merging into a single online portfolio, what is important is that people are getting your content the easiest way they can.

The goal of social media profiles should be to get followers to click over to your website, not the other way around. Once you have them on the site, you want them to stay there.
