When a company comes from a Search Agent, enrichment runs automatically and uses that agent’s targeting to decide who to find. But when you bring companies in yourself — a CSV upload, a single manual add, or a company you created by hand — there’s no Search Agent behind them to say who matters. An Enrichment Profile solves that: it’s a reusable, named set of contact-targeting settings you can attach to any company so enrichment knows exactly who to look for.

​
When to use one

  • You’ve imported companies from a spreadsheet and want them enriched with the right contacts.
  • You added a company manually and want Alva to find its decision-makers.
  • You want to apply the same targeting repeatedly across different batches of companies without re-typing it each time.
Companies discovered by a Search Agent already carry that agent’s enrichment targeting, so they don’t need an Enrichment Profile. Enrichment Profiles are for companies that arrive outside of a Search Agent.

​
Creating an Enrichment Profile

Go to Discovery → Search Agents, click Create New Search Agent, and choose Add Enrichment Profile. Give it a clear name (e.g. “UK Fintech Decision-Makers”) and set your targeting: An Enrichment Profile holds targeting only — it doesn’t search for companies itself. It appears in your Search Agents list alongside your other agents so it’s easy to find and edit.

​
Linking a profile to companies

Once created, attach the profile to the companies you want enriched:
  • From a company’s detail page, choose the Enrichment Profile to apply, then enrich.
  • When importing companies, apply a profile so the whole batch is enriched with the same targeting.
Linked companies then run through the standard enrichment pipeline — finding contacts, cleaning the data, ranking by seniority, and flagging your economic buyer — just like discovered companies. Base enrichment finds contacts and emails associated with a company and is included. Tier 2 Contact Search is an optional, deeper layer that finds more contacts and reveals more verified emails — and, if you choose, mobile numbers.
Tier 2 adds a per-contact cost on top of base enrichment, and revealing mobile numbers costs more than emails. It’s off by default and only ever runs when you switch it on. Base enrichment alone is enough for most outreach.
When you enable Tier 2 you can choose:
  • Reveal email addresses — find more verified emails (a small per-email cost).
  • Reveal mobile numbers — add direct mobile numbers (a larger per-mobile cost).
For Search Agents that score company fit (see Funded & high-growth companies and People Search), you can also restrict Tier 2 to companies above a match-score threshold, so you only pay for deeper sourcing on your best-fit companies.
Automatic contact enrichment — including Tier 2 — requires a Pro plan. On other plans the People settings are visible but locked, with an upgrade prompt.

​
Managing with Alva

You can create and apply Enrichment Profiles conversationally. Ask Alva:
  • “Create an enrichment profile targeting heads of operations and CFOs.”
  • “Enrich this company looking for its marketing decision-makers.”
Alva never switches on Tier 2 — or mobile reveal in particular — unless you explicitly ask for deeper contact sourcing, so you stay in control of spend.

​
Costs

Base enrichment is charged per company when contacts are found. Tier 2 adds a per-contact cost only for the emails or mobiles it reveals — you never pay for empty results. See Settings → Usage for a breakdown and Understanding Credits for how billing works overall.
