Hello Redka,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
To disable the Local SEO module from Rank Math you just need to go to the WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math plugin Dashboard and there look for the Local SEO & Google Knowledge Graph section and deactivate it.
I have attached a screencast so you can see how to do it:

Hi Todd, thank you for your answer but your solution also completely deactivates the metadata part for each page that I could customize with rank match, I only want to deactivate the local SEO part
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
You can make use of the following code snippet to remove the Rank Math schema data from the homepage:
/**
* Code to remove json+ld data
*
*/
add_action( 'rank_math/head', function() {
global $wp_filter;
if ( isset( $wp_filter["rank_math/json_ld"] ) && is_home()) {
unset( $wp_filter["rank_math/json_ld"] );
}
});
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Good evening thank you, where should I enter the code?
Michael Davis, I inserted the code in function (child theme) I don’t see a change it always appears in the metadata test of google
Hi Redka,
Just to be sure, is active the child theme? Also, if it is and you still don’t see changes on your page, could you remove any cache data you could have? (Like in a cache plugin or even in the Cloudflare cache (if you are using it).
Also, the instructions I gave you above will ONLy disable the Local SEO part of the plugin. Rest of the Schema is handled by the Rich Snippets module that can be enabled or disabled separately:
Moreover, wouldn’t it be easier to disable the custom script you have and let Rank Math handle the Local SEO Schema anyway? Or, is there something stopping you from doing that?
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hello, thank you I have just re-read your proposal to deactivate local SEO, why I prefer to keep the solution personalized because yours and more based on an organization, lacks the possibility of indicating to the client the currency, the payments accepted, the overall score of the site, a customer review with the overall rating. However, I checked the google business box. in any case you answered my request and thank you for agreeing to close in resolved
