Mobile Usability Issues

I got a notice from Google that our website has a few problems to fix to be better on a mobile device. I'm not sure how to fix what Google says we need to fix. Attached is a copy of the message.

Thank you for sharing this with us. The issue about the viewport not being set to “device-width” is a bug with Google.
As for the other two issues mentioned, those are relatively subjective. It’s difficult for a computer to tell what is or isn’t too small or too close together, because it doesn’t understand the context the same way a human does. We believe the websites are very easy to use on mobile devices and have tested them thoroughly to ensure they’re easy to navigate without tapping on the wrong element.

Meredith Owens: Thanks. I agree with you. I find our website easy to use on my iPad, and perhaps a bit more difficult to use on my iPhone because of the smaller size -- but either works just fine for me. Of course, everything is smaller and it takes a bit more dexterity and/or pinch-open-and-widen a screen to see things better. I just wasn't sure what Google was talking about.
