The conversion rate is normally on an average of around 2 percent. If we see 100 visitors daily, we can expect only 2 clients on average and this is considered to be a good conversion rate. Many websites can go down to 0.1-0.2% also, which means 1 customer out of 1000 visitors.

This has a great impact on the conversion rate.
