Removing the logo link on home page in Five template

Hello, I am trying to remove the circular reference on logo of the home page of my site (Five template). According to my SEO team, this will not affect user behavior, but it does affect the Google Crawlers that will not get to content and thus negatively impact SEO promotion. I have tried a few custom CSS codes, but none seem to work on my site. 

Thank you for any help you may provide!

Add the following to your custom css area after any other code that may be there

.homepage h1#site-title a {
    pointer-events: none;
}

As an afternote, I think your SEO team may be misinformed.
