     * Update the `extract_results()` function which is used for parsing single addresses (ie. not batch geocoding). You can see examples of how I've tested out parsing the results of geocoding services [here](https://github.com/jessecambon/tidygeocoder/tree/main/sandbox/query_debugging).
     * In a similar fashion, update the `extract_reverse_results()` function for reverse geocoding.
     * Update the `extract_errors_from_results()` function to extract error messages for invalid queries.
-* **[R/geo_methods.R](https://github.com/jessecambon/tidygeocoder/blob/main/R/geo_methods.R)**
-    * Add a new `geo_<method>()` convenience function to [R/geo_methods.R](https://github.com/jessecambon/tidygeocoder/blob/main/R/geo_methods.R). Note that these functions are deprecated and will be phased out in the future.
 * If applicable, add new tests to the scripts in the [tests directory](https://github.com/jessecambon/tidygeocoder/tree/main/tests/testthat) for the method. Note that tests should avoid making a HTTP query (ie. use `no_query = TRUE` in the `geo()` and `geocode()` functions).
