"We've got you covered": why it reads as machine-written
Flagged "We've got you covered"
"We've got you covered" is a cheerful promise with no edges. Covered for what, up to how much, and for how long? Insurance companies at least say.
It is also one of the most common sign-off lines in machine-written copy, which makes it read as filler.
Before
From small repairs to full renovations, we've got you covered.
After
Small repairs from one hour, renovations up to a full kitchen. Every job has a one-year warranty on labour.
The fix
Say what is covered, and up to how much.
What the checker matches
