After some testing myself, I discovered this message means your industries are lacking one or more of your basic services such as fire protection, police, mass transit, etc. Placing offices near polluting industries can cause the "Too few services" message because of low land value. What the message actually is saying is: there is something undesirable about coverage or the location. In my case it was fire:
This was my fire coverage before I added a fire station.
And this is after. The messages all disappeared within a few seconds. If you are getting this message, be sure to check all your overlays to see what they are lacking!
You need to have enough water being pumped, as well as sewage. Note the consumption is less than capacity in both water and sewage, seen here:
You also need to make sure your pipes are connected to the buildings, denoted by a darker blue coloring in the water view, seen here:
If either of these are not true, you will see the No Water notification pop up on a building.

As far as I know, you don't have any direct control of what you import into your city. However, you can create more points of import by building Cargo Terminals for trains and Cargo Harbours for boats. Just make sure the train stations are connected to tracks going to the outside world. You can also increase your cities own production by building industrial sectors. Use the oil specialization to get more oil if there's any on your map.
