This means the caps should be placed on the pin for ICs and near the connector for I/O signals. To remove low-frequency transients from input and output signals, the capacitor should be connected in series with the trace. High-frequency will pass through the capacitor, but low-frequency and DC will be blocked.
The placement of capacitors is one of the most critical phases of the PCB design process. Incorrect capacitor placement can completely revoke their performance. Place capacitors on the bottom side of the board with respect to SMT component placement.
Place the capacitor between the component’s power pin and the via that connects to the power plane. This ensures smooth current flow through the plane. Daniel Beeker shared his insights, saying, “While placing the capacitor, employ the 20th wavelength of transistor switching speed.
When you consider one nanosecond switching event, place the capacitor at half an inch of distance for a good power supply within the 20th wavelength. Usually, capacitors are attached to the bottom side of the board for BGAs. For QFPs and similar packages, it is implemented across the pair of leads.”
Bypass capacitor placement to avoid ground bounce. Refer to the schematic to ensure the placement of bypass capacitors at the device power pins and not at high logic pins. Capacitors are the most versatile components from the PCB assembly standpoint, and decoupling is one of their chief functions.
Mount all local decoupling capacitors on the board nearest to the planes. Connection inductance is approximately proportional to the distance from the planes. If the power and ground planes on a PCB are separated by at least 0.5 mm, then the inductance between the planes can’t be neglected.
Bypass Caps: Decouple Your Way to Cleaner Power | MacroFab
It is important to note that the names "decoupling capacitor" and "bypass capacitor" were given to describe the function of the capacitors in the circuit and not a specific part. There are no capacitors that are specifically called decoupling caps or bypass caps as any cap can perform the function although some caps are more suited to the job than others as we …

Output capacitors placement in PCB
For input bypass capacitors (supply input pins) place smaller capacitor closer to the IC. For output bypass capacitors (supply output, of LDO or DCDC converters i.e.) place smaller capacitors out from the IC, leaving higher capacitance capacitors closer to the source IC.

Ferrite bead position
Ferrite beads should be used in between two capacitors to ground. This forms a Pi filter and reduces the amount of noise to the supply considerably. In practice, the capacitor on the chip side should be placed as close to the chip supply ball as possible. The ferrite bead placement and input capacitor placement is not as crucial.

The reason you put decoupling capacitors close to the required IC is to supply current for the high frequency signals. This means you want to reduce the inductive loop between the current source (the capacitor) and the IC.
