30" drawer just run a yardstick on an angle from top to bottom of the
drawer front from zero to 22"...count down nine.

I generally hold them in place until I find a spacing that appeals to me.
Nobody's ever complained.

Or skip all the mumbo jumbo and and just mount them about 1/4-1/2"
above center. Depends upon drawer height. Works only for cabinets
below counter level.

On a 30" drawer I'd probably put them around 6" from the edge, but I
think the only real standard is what looks good to your eye.
What I do is to stick them in place with double-sided tape and move
them around until I'm happy with the way they look. Then mark that
spot and install them there.

Go with what feels and looks right. Use a couple of pieces of masking tape
for visual locating spots and then when you are happy with the location of
the tape, mount the pulls.
