Thanks for your response.
Where does it add this meta data?
Do you perhaps mean it adds Schema to my site?
Hello,
Yes, the data in your Local SEO settings will be added to your posts and pages schema automatically.
The Local SEO helps to keep your Google My Business (GMB) profile as accurate as possible so that it’s trustworthy, attractive, and has a better chance of appearing in the local pack. With an up-to-date Google My Business profile, you’ll be able to attract and engage a broader audience thereby increasing the website traffic.
In other words, it is safe to fill those, and no need to worry about conflicts with filling the Local SEO data.

I hope that helps.
Thank you.
