make better
Raise the standard
To make better is to improve something—to raise its quality, condition, or effectiveness.
You can make a situation better by intervening, make someone feel better with kind words, or make a recipe better by adjusting the seasoning.
The phrase implies active effort toward enhancement: A good night's sleep will make things better.
