Often on mobile there are not enough 'voting signals' for Google to work off to get solid results.
Users don't link to mobile sites, they link to the main brand site.
Therefore Google ranks a site on whoever is most relevant with most links on desktop and mobile.

Google: Common mistakes in smartphone sites
See this presentation now: 90digital.com/blog
Unplayable videosMany videos are not playable on smartphone devices, because they use Flash Players
Smartphone-only 404sSome sites serve content to desktop users accessing a URL but show an error page to smartphone users.
App download interstitialsThere are many implementations to do this, some of which may cause indexing issues of smartphone-optimized content and others that may be too disruptive to the visitor's usage of the site.
Page speedOptimizing a page's loading time on smartphones is particularly important given the characteristics of mobile data networks smartphones are connected to.
Faulty redirectsA common error is to redirect a user trying to access a URL on the desktop site to an irrelevant URL on the smartphone site.
Irrelevant cross-linkingA common error is to have link point to an irrelevant page such as having the smartphone pages link to the desktop site's homepage.
