Setup Guide
Get Started with Wolf Tool
Set up your Google API key, configure the app, and start finding leads — all in under 5 minutes.
You need a Google Cloud account (free) with billing enabled. Google gives $200/month in free credit — more than enough for Wolf Tool usage. You will not be charged.
