Do I own the ad account?

You should. Ask that the account is set up under your own Google Ads login with the agency as a manager.

Is a bundled package cheaper?

Sometimes, but compare the scope of each part rather than the headline fee.

SEO and Google Ads combined package

SEO takes months to build. Google Ads brings enquiries from week one. Buying both from one agency lets paid search data guide which keywords are worth ranking for organically.

Early phase: ads run on high-intent keywords while technical fixes and content go live.
Middle phase: search term reports feed the content plan and landing pages.
Later phase: as organic rankings climb, ad spend on those terms can be reduced.

Ask for separate reporting on ad spend and organic results, and check that you own the Google Ads account.

What it costs

You pay two things: the agency's management fee for SEO and ads, and the ad budget itself that goes to Google. Fees vary with scope, number of campaigns and content volume.
