"You've come to the right place!" vs "You came to the right place!" [closed]

When you

• mention something that happened in the past,
• its timing isn't mentioned and is perhaps no significance to your mention, and
• you're mentioning it because of its significance in relation to something happening in the present

then the present perfect is suitable. In this case, "You came to the right place" isn't grammatically incorrect, but it doesn't express as explicitly what "You've come to the right place" does: That, because of your having come here, you are now, in the present, in the right place (to receive good service, to eat a delicious meal, etc.).

This use of the present perfect is summarized here.

I hear "you've come to the right place" as the cliché.

"You came to the right place" sounds more like the speaker is surprised that the subject found the correct location. Maybe they're bad with directions?

British and American English: verb tense forms

" The present perfect is less common in AmE than BrE. AmE speakers often use the past simple in situations where BrE speakers use the present perfect, especially with words such as already and yet ".

Perfect Aspect in British English and American English "In fact, British and American English differ in their use of the perfect. The perfect is more widely used in British English. Where a British speaker would tend to say Have you seen Bill today?, an American speaker would tend to say Did you see Bill today?

Where a British English speaker would tend to say I have just had breakfast, an American speaker would tend to say I just had breakfast." (James R. Hurford, Grammar: A Student's Guide. Cambridge University Press, 1994)

The difference is subtle, and it's between the present perfect and the simple past tenses.

You've come to the right place!

This is the present perfect. As of right now, we consider the statement to be true, and explicitly completed, "completed" being equated to "perfect". It is a strong completion.

You came to the right place!

This is the simple past. At some unspecified point in the past, the statement was true. It might no longer be true. It is also implicitly completed but only because it's not a continuous tense (compare You are/were coming to the right place). It is a weak completion.

The present perfect is stronger, the simple past vaguer. For your website you want to make a strong, bold statement. The present perfect is the form to go for here.
