Answer 1

Considering that Service is a model you created, and that this model is inside the app folder, within the App namespace, try this:

Fix your ServiceTableSeeder.php header:

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Service;

class ServiceTableSeeder extends Seeder {

  public function run()
  {
    Service::create(
      array(
        'title' => 'Web development',
        'description' => 'PHP, MySQL, Javascript and more.'
      )
    );

    Service::create(
      array(
        'title' => 'SEO',
        'description' => 'Get on first page of search engines with our help.'
      )
    );

  }
}

As you have moved your models to app\models, you must declare that in each model file:

Models.php:

 namespace App\Models;

And in your seed file, use:

 use App\Models\Service.php;

Are you using composer to autoload your files? If so, update your composer.json file to include your models location:

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "app/Models"
    ],
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/"
    }
},

And finally, run this in your command line:

composer dump-autoload
