Unless your website is about the “benefits of clean fresh water” or something else extremely wide in scope that appeals to the masses, then you need to know your specific customer’s buying habits and emotional triggers.
Only with intimate knowledge of your customer including, depending on your target market, what they drive, how they buy, what they want, and more your web copy will be just pretty words on a page.
