you utilize place details part of places api actual place reference in each suggestion using "reference" value. example:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=ciqyaaaa0q_ja...kt3ufvlddvtqsowz_tc&sensor=true&key=addyourownkeyhere

this give info place including coordinates (point specific location, bounds area).
