search_vendors
Use this when the user wants to find, compare or hire a local business for an in-person service in a US city: house cleaners, laundry, med spas, yoga teachers, personal trainers, photographers, home services. Returns real businesses listed on Servana with rating, pricing when posted, claim status and a page URL. If it returns no results, tell the user Servana has no listed business for that yet; never invent one. Pass the user's specific need in need (e.g. decluttering, deep clean, packages) so the best-fitting businesses come first. Nearby towns are searched together (e.g. Nocatee with Ponte Vedra). Do not use for businesses outside the US or for services Servana does not list (use search_services if unsure).
