Location Search 101: Implementation best practices for Mapbox's Geocoding API

*About this Mapbox Live Session:*
Our geocoding API gives you the flexibility to implement location search in your product however you see fit, based on what your users want. But with this flexibility comes a universe of possibilities for how developers actually implement our geocoder — and we’ve seen many variations.

We spent the last month talking to over 100 customers building with our Geocoding API to understand what their product goals are and how location search or location services fits into their product design. From those conversations, we’ve put together several best practices for how to implement the geocoding API to achieve your product goals and provide a good experience for your users. In this Mapbox Live session, Karen Ellenberger and Lizzie Gooding from our Search team will walk through the best practices and discuss learnings from different industries and customer types that you can use to inform your own product development decisions.

*This Mapbox Live Session will teach you how to:*

- Add search parameters to make your search results more relevant for your users.
- Use proximity, bounding boxes, and category search to help users explore POIs near them.
- Apply our autocorrect functionality at the right keystroke.
- Provide recommendations for your end-users about inputting search queries appropriately.
- Think about location search and services implementations aligned to key use cases such as on-demand, social, travel, or weather apps.
