class from provider not loading in laravel 5.5

I want to use a service provider for the Google Geocoding API, https://github.com/jotafurtado/geocode in my Laravel 5.5 application. I followed the instructions, installed the provider using Composer. I had to manually add this line to the providers array in the config/app.php:

Jcf\Geocode\GeocodeServiceProvider::class

and then add this to the aliases array in the same file

'Geocode' => Jcf\Geocode\Facades\Geocode::class

When I call the Geocode class in my controller I get an error saying "Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Geocode' not found". Is there something I need to add to the controller or some command I need to run?

You should use alias name to import the class like

use Geocode;

Laravel will resolve it for you by using alias name. That is the purpose of creating alias.

Did you use an import statement at the top of your controller? 

use Jcf\Geocode\Facades\Geocode;
