How "involved" are operations?

I have 3 triplexes that I use a property manager for. I have been learning every day about self storage. I have been considering selling my triplexes and buying a $3m facility. I recently listened to a podcast that talked about day-to-day operations... What goes on after the deal is closed.

So I'm wondering, what's involved in that? They mentioned doing SEO, which I'm not scared of because I've done it before for eCommerce, but it made me realize I want to know what I'm getting myself into before buying a facility. They also mentioned I probably shouldn't self manage and should hire a manager or boots on the ground instead.

Are there property management companies that will handle all this - The Google My Business profile, SEO, marketing, rate management, etc.?
